Sure.  But what does Dennis Rodman think…?

Talk radio ubermensch Dennis Prager makes a whole bunch of hurtful generalizations about my ilk here. I’m not going to lie to you — what he wrote stung me a bit. But I’ll survive. Now, off to the propaganda mill, where I’ll indoctrinate yet another batch of empty-headed, slack-jawed teenaged porta-vessels with my peculiar Devil’s brew of moral relativism and Susan Dey-flavored cultural references — all in the service of
